Come in to Pack & Paddle to get your pack in shape at the “Shakedown Summit!”

If you’re interested in reducing the overall weight of your backpack – let us help! Our employees are here to weigh the contents of your backpack and make suggestions on where you can cut out some weight.

We’ll go through and weigh every piece of gear of your pack, suggest things you can leave home, show you where to pack the items that are left and how to make your pack feel balanced and perfect on your back.   In addition, we can make suggestions on adjustments to your gear that will make your trips safer and more comfortable.

We are equally comfortable working with a scout heading for summer camp as we are preparing someone to thru hike the Appalachian trail.
